Dealing with Undead


Advice


Started a campaign recently, and im getting the feeling there will be plenty of undead.

My question is, how do we (a party of a druid, inquisitor and rogue) deal with such enemies? As the rogue i feel useless, with a dagger and a hand crossbow as my main weapons im pushing d4 damage with no sneak attack.


Undead are susceptible to sneak attack and crits in pathfinder.


omg.... really?


Undead are no longer immune to critical hits and sneak attacks, unless they are incorporeal. Flank with the inquisitor for all you're worth. Tell the druid to bring lots of fire.

Edit: Damn. Ninja'd while I got up to get something out of the microwave.


DAMN 3.5 FOR CORRUPTING ME!!!!

Yeah all monsters with the exception of a small list (Ooze, Constructs, Elementals, etc) are susceptible to SA damage so attack away and get them d6's

constructs also are susceptible under current rules.

Bah!!! Slight overlook on my behalf o_O oh well guess I can't win em all haha


If you attack a skeleton with a dagger is the SA damage piercing or slashing, too?
If not (which I guess) do you deal SA damage if the normal dagger damage doesn't get through the DR?


All the damage done is of the same type as the weapon delivering it, and it all gets applied at once, so you add your weapon damage and sneak attack damage and then subtract DR.


Have your Druid cast Magic Stone for you. Now your rogue has three touch attack stones that can deal 2d6+2 damage to undead before sneak attack.

Umm... how do you come to 'touch attack'? For all I know, you have to hit normally with these stones.

Thanks.

Never played pc with SA in pathfinder.

Pick up a bludgeoning melee weapon that you're proficient with, just to get past annoying DR. I've always felt that professionally violent people should carry a varied selection of weapons so that they can adapt to the needs of the job.
